PART 2 - PRODUCTS
2.01 GENERAL PRODUCT COMPLIANCE
A. Procedures for Selecting Products: Contractor's options for selecting products are limited by
Contract Document requirements and governing regulations, and are not controlled by
industry traditions or procedures experienced by Contractor on previous construction projects.
B. Visual Matching: Where matching with an established sample is required, final judgment of
whether a product proposed by Contractor matches sample satisfactorily is Architect's
judgment.
C. Visual Selection: Except as otherwise indicated, where specified product requirements include
"... as selected from manufacturer's colors, patterns, textures..." or words of similar effect, the
selection of manufacturer and basic product (complying with requirements) is Contractor's
option, and subsequent selection of color, pattern, and texture is Architect's selection.
D. Products that include a color, pattern and texture selection have, in many cases, been
selected and approved by the Owner. Where specification sections designate a specific
manufacturer’s product, and the specification also allows other manufacturers to provide
products subject to compliance with requirements of that section, the color(s), texture(s) and
pattern(s) of the specified product also constitute requirements that must be met. Other
products may be incorporated in the project provided they meet the design intent of the
specified product including the color(s), texture(s) and pattern(s) of that product. Compliance
with the design intent shall be determined by the Architect subject to the Owner’s approval.
Any product or material not submitted prior to the bid as a proposed substitution, or submitted
as a proposed substitution, but not receiving approval, may be submitted after the bid during
the submittal process, but is done so with the risk of rejection. Should a product be rejected,
then the Contractor shall provide the product specified at no additional cost to the Owner and
with no change in the Contract Time.
1. The intent of this paragraph is not to restrict competitive bidding nor to exclude
manufacturers that offer products of equal or better quality than those specified, but to
meet the design aesthetic and intent that has been approved by the Owner. The
decision to approve or reject an alternate product will be based upon how closely the
proposed alternate(s) matches the color(s), texture(s) and pattern(s) of the specified
products, and also the combined appearance of all products together. Minor
variations in appearance will be allowed, however, the Architect and the Owner are
the sole judges of what constitutes a minor variation.
2.02 SUBSTITUTIONS
A. Conditions: Contractor's request for substitution will be received and considered when
extensive revisions to Contract Documents are not required, and changes are in keeping with
general intent of Contract Documents; when timely, fully documented and properly submitted;
and when one or more of the following conditions is satisfied, all as judged by Architect.
